Your card details are not ‘saved’ on our systems. However, an encrypted ‘shortcut’ to it is saved instead. This shortcut is completely meaningless to everyone except a high security decryption system used by Visa/ MasterCard. This means that any attempt to decrypt it is pointless as it has no commercial use.
